Amy just wants to stay in her room away from the world, the “alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name” is her parents waking her up in the morning and she just wants to stay in bed and listen to the rain. The wind and rain might also refer to her troubles that she’s thinking about.

A reference to Don McLean’s classic song, “American Pie” about the death of singer Buddy Holly. Shad delivers a modified version of the chorus from that song which is:

So bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey in Rye
Singing, “This’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day that I die”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAsV5-Hv-7U

In this song, Shad references the deaths of many popular American musicians, like Don McLean did in the original.
